Juncker against Merkel: "Possible extension of Greek loan maturities"

Juncker versus Merkel. The president of the Eurogroup, a guest of the Austrian radio station O1, in fact advanced the possibility of grant "postponements" on the implementation times of the measures requested of Greeceeffectively denying the German chancellor who, just today, on the sidelines of the G20, had proved inflexible on the subject.

Merkel had declared, in fact, of see no reason to relax the reform commitments undertaken by the Greek government towards international lenders and, indeed, to expect the new government to be formed as quickly as possible.

After speaking of the opportunity to grant a delay to Greece, given the extreme gravity of the recession, Juncker then adjusted the shot, stating that, in any case, "no substantial changes to Greece's reform agenda are expected".
